When my friend Chloe had a German sausage for lunch I regretted instantly having a late-heavy breakfast; I did not have room for it. You will understand as you see the size of it in the image.

Every week you can find different discounts and surprises at the Jan Power’s Market; according to the harvesting season. Today I found that the regular place where I do my shopping, which by the way accepts card payment (even if it is just $5.00 AUD) had randomly and without a particular reason, hanged images of fugitives from justice.

And the cashiers were disguised as a cowboy and an Indian, like Old West Hollywood movies. Two months ago they were working with superheroes costumes. I don’t exactly understand why I was just amused by it!

While I finished my route I found a pair of youths performing and entertaining the environment with varied melodies from which I could recognise “Hey Jude” and “Bare Necessities” from the Jungle Book.

If you are looking to quit the routine or just you need to make your errands; Wednesday market might be able to save few dollars and maybe raise a laugh.

Anthology
noun
• a published collection of poems or other pieces of writing
• a collection of songs or musical compositions issued in one album.

Anthology Coffee (my definition)
• a selection of the best blends choices and pieces of art-look-alike- brunches that satisfy your palate and warm your heart.

I went to Anthology Coffee to reward myself for finishing my first Master’s semester in Australia. My friend Maggie and I hadn´t seen each other for a month (yes… assignments) so, she told me she knew a great place to have waffles in Brisbane city and catch up.

For those who might not know (as myself), Matcha literally means powdered tea, and it is used in Japanese tea ceremonies and it can be incorporated into meals and as a flavouring for sweets.

I´ve read that a whole tea leaves of Matcha contain three times as much caffeine than a cup of steeped tea, and some people affirm that it produces an “alert calm” due to a natural substance it contains called l-theanine, which induces relaxation without somnolence.

Some people describe Matcha’s flavour as grass or spinach-like, because of this sometimes it is sweetened to improve its flavour.

All in all… the Waffles were beautifully decorated, accompanied with petals, berries and nuts. It was s a piece of art.

We have a saying at Mexico: Full Stomach, happy heart!
But I think Maggie’s expression pretty much represents the same meaning!
